Name: Tam
Age: 28
Gender: the feminine sort
Kids: three of the furry variety. Rowan and Tilly are about to turn 8, and Hermes will be 3 in a few days. All cats...orange tabby, black/brown tabby/ticked, and Russian Blue, respectively.
Occupation: Also a customer service rep, but I work at home.
Favorite food: steak. I prefer it just above rare, but not quite to mid-rare. I know, I'm picky. Preferably with mashed potatoes.
How long have been a fan of EQ? 1986. So as long as I've been alive. I don't actually know when I picked it up...I'm a "legacy" fan, my dad got me into the comics.
How did you become a fan? My mom grew tiny womb editions for me.
Who's your favorite character? That's such a hard question. I love Cutter because I identify so deeply with him. I love Kahvi because she reminds me of Xena, and I'm a huge Xena fangirl. I love Redlance because I've always loved trees, and I love the relationship he has with Nightfall because it was the first thing to really break stereotypical gender roles for me. I love Pike because he's such a nerd.
What kind of music do you like, and which bands/artists? I listen largely to classic rock (Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, and Queen) and classical music. Which seems like a really strange combination. I listen to classical more often at the moment, but I go through music phases where I listen to pretty much one thing exclusively until I'm just sick of it. *laughs* Guest stars on my roster are Tracy Chapman, Hootie & The Blowfish, Bruno Mars (totally obsessed with Uptown Funk right now), Daft Punk (Get Lucky), k.d. lang, and The Darkness.
Which other comics/graphic novels do you read? Only Batman and Sandman, and...not terribly often. Comics are expensive, yo. But I love comic tv shows and movies, animated or live action.
What are your hobbies? I run a holt called Oakleaf Holt, which takes up the majority of my time. But I love it like...nothing else in my life. I'm trying to get back into drawing, but it's very difficult, due to some prior trauma. I read a bit. I like to go to the gym and swim, but I haven't lately.
Favorite films? The Fifth Element. The Disney Robin Hood. Robin Hood: Men in Tights. The Princess Bride. Ever After. Zodiac. James Bond movies. Rent. What Dreams May Come. The Emperor's New Groove.
Do you like videogames, and if yes, which games? I love Final Fantasy, Sims 2, I play some Facebook games, um...general RPGs, Pokemon, that sort of thing. I try not to play much anymore, because I have repetitive stress injuries.
Dream destination for next holiday if money++ are no issue? I would be pretty stoked with anywhere, because I've never been out of the US. But Venice is definitely on my bucket list.
Best concert you ever seen? Uh...gosh. I've been to a lot of concerts and didn't like a bunch of them...lots were for bands my ex dragged me to see, for example. I slept through GWAR (I'm not even kidding...I had a 4 am shift and the concert that night, apparently I can sleep through anything). But seeing k.d. lang was phenomenal. Yum.
Favorite "what-if" couple in Elfquest? Not sure. I don't really...think about it? There are couples I'd like to see more of, but no like...what-ifs. More Windkin/Ahdri, more Tyleet/Dewshine, more Dart/Kimo (even though they aren't official. I guess they can be my what-if).
Name on character that deserves to be drawn (more) by Wendy: Pike and Skot interactions. I feel like we didn't get enough of them.

Gender: man
Country: France
Kids: None. But I am an uncle to three wonderful nieces
Occupation: Very experienced engineer (software development)
Favorite food: I like almost everything, but I favour cheese pizzas
How long have been a fan of EQ? 1985 - I was 17
How did you become a fan? I was exploring a comic shop specialized into US imports, in Paris, and I found those strange-looking issues of a real strange tale with elves, drawn in black and white, with stunning color covers and backcovers. First feeling was : "for kids" and I stepped away... Then I abruptly stopped, asking myself : "WHAT-DID-I-JUST-SEE-AND-READ!?"... and I went back, reading again and again, and... since that precise moment I was hooked and I have been buying EVERYTHING Elfquest-related that I could find and buy. Well, almost everything.
Who's your favorite character? Suntop - almost from the start ( OQ #6, I mean )
What kind of music do you like, and which bands/artists? I like manymanymany styles and artists, with a strong love for Bowie and Rammstein
Which other comics/graphic novels do you read? I have always read a lot of comics ( we are lucky to have had many, in France ) and some graphic novels ; Elfquest is #1, by FAR - followed, in my heart, by the wonders an illustrator named Pierre Joubert has drawn
What are your hobbies? Reading (novels, sci-fi, comics, mags, newspapers, everything), software development (yes: work AND hooby), science, history, secrets, and some other ones
Favorite films? I watched a multitude of movies but, strangely enough, #1 is Blue Thunder, followed by Blade Runner, Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence... and by manymanymany other ones
Do you like videogames, and if yes, which games? I love Soul Calibur II, Shadow of the Colossus, and a few other PS2 games - On PC : X-Com: Enemy Unknown is my fav'
Dream destination for next holiday if money++ are no issue? Ireland or Jersey or Norway
Best concert you ever seen? Paris Live show of Rammstein (Bercy concert) : A-W-E-S-O-M-E
Favorite "what-if" couple in Elfquest? I'm not interested in such what-ifs, sorry

Name: Known as Kindredsoul. Real name, Monica
Age: 10-4's and 2
Gender: I'mma gal
Kids: 2 sons... 18, and the oldest turns 20 this July 2 cats 4 dogs 2 bearded dragons... 1 year old female with a regal attitdue, and the newest addition, just a baby and already full of dragon spunk
Occupation: Dayturn: Private in home care to the most adorable, witty elderly lady named Rose. Afternoonturn: Work at the local neighborhood bakery On breaks/Evenings/weekends: Spends time with you lovely people!
How did you become a fan? By accident in a bookstore at a local mall. At the time, they also had comics there. The moment I saw Cutter's eyes on a cover I was hooked. The moment I began reading during what few minutes I had, I drowned into the story. The only way I ever got to read more was the rare times anyone took me to that mall again throughout my childhood, until finally, when I was 18 and I got a job at that very same mall, the graphic novels were out by then, and I bought one with each and every paycheck.
Who's you're favourite character? Oh I dunno.... maybe the guy that's tattoo'd clear across my back
What kind of music do you like, and which bands/artists? Honestly, I'm into high energy pop music. ANYTHING with Pitbull really gets me going. I have to have energy music to keep my spirits up and keep me motivated through my day, so any form of dance music like Rihanna, Enrique Iglesias, Shakira... music like that.
I also love soothing classical.
Which other comics/graphic novels do you read? None. I know, lame. But nothing else compared enough to ElfQuest to me, so I never bothered.
What are your hobbies? Love gardening and crafting (if there's ever time) Loved writing and drawing, but lost inspiration for some time now. Although I am trying to get it back.
Favourite films? Too many to list, but some are the Back to the Future trilogy, all the Indiana Jones, Star Trek (old and new), Jeepers Creepers<-----(FAVE horror flick, even tho I don't consider it a horror flick. More like a comedy ), The Alien and Predator movies, How to Train your Dragon movies, etc etc etc....
Do you like videogames, and if yes, which games? I LOVED Video games when I used to have time to play them. Huge Final Fantasy buff till 13 came out and I puked
How are you like/describe your personality: Mostly bubbly, energetic.... very easy to get along with ^_^ Although my biggest fear is unable to make everyone happy. I'm a huge people pleaser. So if I screw something up in here with the site, or I forget about something, please know it's nothing intentional I'm quite often scatter-brained and forgetful sometimes. Always feel free to come to me about anything because I don't have that knack of reading minds like so many others seem to be able to do
Dream destination for next holiday if money++ are no issue? If money wasn't an issue, I'd plan trips to see all of you I do have to laugh trying to picture PC and Arthis trying to teach me French tho.... O__O And I'm pretty sure I would never get out of the UK once I met up with Nibblet... all the pubs would ban us >___>
Favorite "what-if" couple in Elfquest? I never really gave this any thought before, but do wonder.... if Lord Voll had never been killed, I think him and Savah would've made a sweet couple
Name a character that deserves to be drawn (more) by Wendy: Not particularly "who", but I would have loved more "Hidden Years" stories since I'm sure a ton more events happened with the Wolfriders and the others while the palace was gone. Would have liked more told on that.

Stormcatcher 52 is not hard to believe. I'm 53, so I know it is possible.

@ G0lden: Well, it's hard for me to believe... my mind feels like 36, my body like 76.

I work on the phones all day and I get these field agents who can't believe am 53. They swear up and down that I sound so much younger than that. Yes there are days I am stiff, but I have had that since my mid 20's. And to buy clothes at my age, , you would think there would be a happy medium between too cutesy young to too frumpy old.
